The venue has everything you will need on your big day, it has a massive and gorgeous bridal suite equipped with everything you will need to get ready, and the grooms suite is perfect for the men! We had a ceremony location change 3 months prior to our wedding so we chose to move our wedding to the outdoor portion of the venue - the waterfall made a perfect backdrop. I would 100% recommend having your wedding here.

It was wonderful to be able to have all portions of our wedding day at the same site, so guests didn’t have to travel between venues. We were able to take advantage of reduced pricing, since we had a November wedding, allowing us to rent the entire hall at an affordable price. JP was great with offering suggestions for table set-ups and assisting us with our drink order, as well as being present the day of our event to be sure everything went according to plan. Also, Bella Sala provided all of the table linens and staging, set up the tables and chairs, and did all of the cleanup and takedown after we removed all of our personal items from the venue following our event.

able job. Bar Manager & Event Planner are also awesome. Would highly reccommend to anyone because of the elegance. Dress it up as much or as little as you'd like. It will be beautiful no matter what! The dance floor was slick and I would say a little on the dangerous side once any liquids (beer) was spilled on it. Of course, as bride and groom, you sign a contract and pray that your friends don't sue you, but there were some serious bruises/knee injuries after our reception. Overall, had a lovely time!!
